TV can be a brutal business — for actors and viewers alike. Every time you tune in, you run the risk of watching one of your favorite TV characters abruptly succumb to Sudden Death Syndrome. Prestige dramas excel at killing off beloved characters without compunction (or foreshadowing). That's not surprising, considering these shows exist to break your heart. But nowadays, even situation comedies are okay with bumping off major players — and these deaths are rarely informed by storytelling structure. Nervous networks execs, backstage scandals, difficult personalities, and dissatisfied actors can all too easily culminate in a character's untimely demise. Just ask George Costanza's dead fiancée.
If you're an '80s or '90s kid who was lucky enough to have access to cable television, then one of your childhood dreams was most certainly to get slimed on national television.

While some stars, including the likes of Ariana Grande or Emma Roberts, found a way to turn their early television success into long-term careers, others remarkably decided to step away from the spotlight when they were at the very top, à la Jamie Lynn Spears.
